“As the two largest developing countries with a total population of more than 2.8 billion, China and India should demonstrate the feelings of the world, reflect the responsibility of major powers, set an example for the joint self-improvement of the largest developing countries, and contribute to promoting multi-polarisation of the world and democratisation of international relations,” said Wang Yi.
The Head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry also recalled that this year Beijing and New Delhi are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. According to Wang Yi, China and India should deepen cooperation and remove barriers, ensuring stability in Asia and around the world.
